So true.
Can see it now. The next race will be another altered human form and then they will be we are adding more races in the CS and as long as they keep doing well we will add more.
There excuse will be. What you dont like the human formed aliens? we thought thats what you wanted since they were selling so well.

They did make that choice to save money. Why because they are lazy.
They would rather add a race that costs say 20,000 to add into the game that they are hoping most people will buy just because its new then to spend the 200,000 to make a race thats harder to put in and debug that in there estimates wouldnt sell much more.
In other words. $20,000 to add canthar for 150,000 people when 90,000 people will buy is much easier than $200,000 to add ithorians for 150,000 people when only 100,000 people will still buy it.
They are making all the decisions on profit from the amount of work needed. Not by what would improve the game. SO I guess its both lazyness and greed.
Think about it. Look at the new expansion. They list 2 things at the start. A new planet with a level increase to 55. With new things being added later.
Why later? Its so if they dont get enough preorders they can add something else. If that doesnt add the amount they want then they will add something else. ONCE they reach the number they were looking for they wont add anything else to the expansion.
They are too lazy to just put out everything they worked on in it so they dont have to do work later for new stuff if they can keep it out of the expansion.
BTW my definition of lazy is = Not doing something that should be done because its not worth the effort that you put into it.
SO in Bioware looking at making the biggest profit margin they can is being greedy but its also being lazy because they are notdoing whats should be done because its not worth it to them.
